Practical information
Towing a trailer
We recommend the use of genuine PEUGEOT towbars and their harnesses that have been tested and approvedfrom the design stage of your vehicle,and that the fitting of the towbar isentrusted to a PEUGEOT dealer or aqualified workshop.
If the towbar is not fitted by aPEUGEOT dealer, it is imperative that it is fitted in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer's instructions. T
owbar suitable for the attachment of atrailer or installation of a bicycle carrier, with additional lighting and signalling.
Blanking cover
When towing, you must remove the blankingcover if your vehicle has one.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop for this.
Driving with a trailer places greater demands on the towing vehicle and the
driver must take par ticular care.
Maximum trailer weight
You must not tow a trailer weighing more than 800 kg. Your vehicle is primaril
y designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it mayalso be used for towing a trailer.

Driving advice
Distribution of loads
)Distribute the load in the trailer so that theheaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight approaches the maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. Above
1 000 metres, the maximum towed load must
be reduced by 10
% for every 1 000 metres of altitude.
Side wind
)Take into account the increased sensitivity
to side wind.
Cooling
To w i ng a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electricall
y controlled, its cooling capacity is not dependent on the engine speed. )
To lower the engine speed, reduce your speed. The maximum towed load on a long incline
depends on the gradient and the ambient
tem
perature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
)If the warning lamp and the STOPwarning lamp come on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
Braking
To w i ng a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes on a long
mountain type of descent, the use of enginebraking is recommended.
Tyres
)
Check the tyre pressures of the towingvehicle and of the trailer, obser ving the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
)
Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically if a genuinePEUGEOT towbar is used.
